A close friend of Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old firefighter and self-professed “girl dad” who was shot and killed at a Trump rally on Saturday, revealed he was also the victim of plans that changed at the last minute.

The New York Post spoke with Scott Docherty, the CEO of manufacturing company CID Associates who employed Comperatore’s brother, during a wake for the local hero earlier this week. According to him, some seat-swapping was made by his pal at the last minute, putting Comperatore in the crosshairs of a deranged gunman who fired at former President Donald Trump, killing him and gravely injuring two others. “So talk about a freak, freak accident. That he wasn’t even supposed to be sitting there and he ends up losing his life,” said Dockherty.

Hundreds of mourners gathered at Laube Hall in Freeport to pay their respects to a man many said was unfailingly dedicated to his wife Helen and daughters Allyson and Kaylee who he shielded as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks began opening fire. He worked as a project and tooling engineer, was an Army reservist with a decade of service, and spent many years as a volunteer firefighter after serving as chief, according to the AP.

An endless showing of first responders appeared at Comperatore’s wake as well, the outlet reported, with police cars and firetrucks lining the streets and parking lot outside the building. Snipers were positioned on nearby rooftops to protect the crowd and many were seen wearing their firefighter uniforms.

“You realize that Corey and his family weren’t even supposed to sit in those seats,” Docherty told reporters, citing a conversation he had with Compertore’s brother, Steve. He added that the family of four was standing off to the side of the stage when a sympathetic guest offered their four seats up to the family. The Trump super-fan immediately agreed.

“So Corey said, ‘Yes, I would love to do that,’” Docherty said.

Two other Trump supporters, David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 54, were hit by Crooks’ AR-15 rifle rounds but are expected to recover.

President Donald Trump on Thursday honored Comperatore during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention where at times he struck a tone of civility and graciousness, kissing the deceased’s firefighter helmet on stage and admiring him as “an unbelievable person.” A fund established by the former president to support his family and the two recovering victims has raised more than $6 million, the AP added.

Investigators are still probing for a motive behind the assassination attempt by Crooks who was shot and killed after firing eight rounds. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle defended a decision to not place an agent on the roof where Crooks stood and on Thursday was confronted by an angry group of Republican senators who promised to interrogate her for the catastrophic security failure. Despite being a registered Republican, those who knew Crooks say he was politically agnostic about both major parties.

Democrats in conversations with the upper echelon of White House leadership believe President Joe Biden is readying an announcement that he will no longer seek reelection.

The report by Axios states that a decision by the embattled president may come as soon as this weekend, according to insiders who asked for confidentiality to discuss private conversations. Co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, titans of the Washington, D.C. political class with extensive contacts, wrote that growing pressure from top Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) might finally have become too great to brush aside.

The imminent about-face will likely be made not long after Biden recovers from a bout of Covid. He remains in isolation and without a public schedule, forcing him to be alone with his thoughts as he contemplates just how badly Election Day could go for his party if he refuses to step aside. Even former President Barack Obama, one of Biden’s closest allies, isn’t stopping former advisors like David Axelrod or liberal celebrity George Clooney from openly calling on Biden to drop out.

From Axios:

The private message, distilled to its bluntest form: The top leaders of his party, his friends and key donors believe he can’t win, can’t change public perceptions of his age and acuity, and can’t deliver congressional majorities.

The president is being told that if he stays in, former President Trump could win in a landslide and wipe away Biden’s legacy and Democrats’ hopes in November.

Pelosi, on Thursday, declined to rebut a report that she directly warned Biden that his obstinance would cost Democrats a chance to take back the House. “The speaker does not want to call on him to resign [as the Democratic nominee], but she will do everything in her power to make sure it happens,” one Pelosi ally told Politico Playbook.

“There’s nothing subtle about Nancy,” another Pelosi ally told Playbook. “She starts with the question: ‘What’s it take to win?’ Then works backwards.”

Similar ominous warnings were delivered by Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), according to ABC News. Both declined to discuss their conversations with the president. Biden campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg bluntly told the president that donors’ patience is wearing thin and wallets are beginning to close up for good, Semafor reported.

The pressure campaign has reached intolerable levels after Democrats said they fully expect post-shooting polls to show that sympathy for President Trump has been converted into a sizable lead. On Thursday that prediction was proven out: Emerson College released results of the first poll since Saturday’s assassination attempt which showed that Trump leads Biden by 6% nationally and by a margin of up to 10% in swing states he lost four years ago.

The alarm bells at the Biden-Harris headquarters are going off after a new poll of both swing states and the nation shows former President Donald Trump growing his healthy lead over President Joe Biden 109 days before the election.

Emerson College on Thursday released results showing President Trump leading the Democrat incumbent 44% to 38% national, the largest lead he has held all year in the first poll conducted since he was nearly killed in an assassination attempt on Saturday. An initial outpouring of sympathy for Trump appears to have catalyzed the shift in greater support despite pausing a slew of headlines about concern around President Biden’s age. Those results were even more pronounced in eight swing states certain to determine the outcome of the November election.

In Arizona, a state Biden narrowly carried four years ago, Trump now leads by 10%. Georgia, which narrowly went for Biden and elected two Democratic U.S. Senators after Trump lost, now gives Trump a 5% lead. And in Michigan, perhaps the bluest midwestern state besides Illinois, Trump leads Biden 43% to 40%. Leads by the Republican were held or grew across all eight battlegrounds:

• Arizona: Trump 46%, Biden 36%, other candidates 8.2%
• Georgia: Trump 44%, Biden 39%, other candidates 9.3%
• Michigan: Trump 43%, Biden 40%, other candidates 8.3%
• Nevada: Trump 43%, Biden 40%, other candidates 9.2%
• North Carolina: Trump 47%, Biden 38%, other candidates 8.7%

• Wisconsin: Trump 46%, Biden 43%, other candidates 6.5%
• National: Trump 44%, Biden 38%, other candidates 8.4 %

Virginia, a ninth state won comfortably by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020, now favors Trump by 2%, though he is tied with Biden if undecided voters are asked to choose a preference.

As the general public continues souring on Biden, Democratic primary voters appear to be sticking by him. Sixty-four percent want Biden to stay in the race, while 36% think he should withdraw. Firm majorities of White and Hispanic voters think Biden should resign while 65% of Black voters want Biden to keep running.

The survey of more than 1,000 likely voters carried a margin of error of +/-2.1%.

Multiple outlets reported on Thursday that the dam around President Biden is beginning to break. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been privately fielding calls from anxious House Democrats and telling them to abandon the embattled president if it will save their seats. She declined to rebut a report that she directly confronted Biden this week and said his obstinance will cost Democrats a chance to control the House next year. She also did not comment on a recent call by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a top ally and Senate candidate, for Biden to withdraw. For the first time, Biden has sounded more open to arguments about why he should step aside, the New York Times reported.

The pressure campaign continues three days after President Trump selected Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate, positioning the 39-year-old young father as heir apparent to the MAGA movement. The Republican National Convention, which ends with Trump speaking on Thursday, has generated wall-t0-wall media coverage that is fueling Democrats’ attempts to push Biden aside before their own convention takes place next month.

New sales data in the beer market shows that Bud Light continues to fall from its position as the most preferred pilsner in the country, demonstrating the staying power that mass boycotts have had on one of the best-selling beers in American history.

The pilsner owned by German brewing company Anheuser-Busch sits in the number three position among beers sold in the U.S., lagging behind Modelo Especial and Michelob Ultra 12 months after the industry was reshaped by outrage over Bud Light’s partnership with a transgender social media influencer. The Wall Street Journal reported that Bud Light represented 6.5% of beer dollar sales in U.S. stores in the four weeks ended July 6, compared with 7.3% for Michelob Ultra and 9.7% for Modelo, according to an analysis of NielsenIQ data by the consulting firm Bump Williams.

Modelo Especial, a Mexican import, outsold Bud Light during the critical period between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, adding insult to injury as patriotic Americans enjoying the start of summer eschewed a brand once beloved for its flag-themed cans. Once the best-selling beer in American history, Bud Light slipped from the No. 1 spot just one month after an April 2023 report that transgender influence Dylan Mulvaney was hired to help shift the brand away from its blue-collar base and towards a younger, “woker” crowd of beer enthusiasts.

The company’s former vice president of marketing was fired just months after the fallout began, but it wasn’t enough to keep pressure by activists from bursting into public consciousness. The boycott quickly became a topic of conversation among celebrities, singers, and even a punchline by late-night hosts as the country debated the merits of canceling brands that stray into virtue signaling and DEI initiatives and away from basic customer service. Conservatives flexed their purchasing power later that year with similar boycotts of Target, Skittles, Ben & Jerry’s, and Kohl’s, all generating headlines but not nearly the impression left on Bud Light’s bottom line.

The protests against other companies have continued well into 2024. Tractor Supply and John Deere were both recently targeted for DEI initiatives that conservatives called a betrayal to their rural customers, causing both corporations to walk back statements made on internal documents promoting various liberal or otherwise inclusive policies.

Anheuser-Busch declined to comment on the continued slump of its flagship brand, but the Journal noted that not all news is bad: the company also owns the No. 2 selling Michelob Ultra. Chief Executive Michel Doukeris earlier this year said the company had lost between 5% and 7.5% of shelf space but noted on a recent earnings call that other company products were able to replace some remaining shelf space left by Bud Light’s void. A summer marketing push will focus heavily on sporting events including the Paris Olympics, Copa América, and the NBA and NFL seasons.

The brand they’re betting on to do best? Michelob Ultra, which will be sponsoring both the U.S. and Mexican men’s teams in the Copa América, as well as the entire U.S. Olympics team.

As authorities work feverishly to piece together the motives behind the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday, the FBI has said it’s uncovered proof that the shooter left an ominous warning about his plans just hours earlier.

Thomas Crooks, a recent high school graduate who fired eight rounds at Trump from an AR-15 rifle before being shot and killed, wrote an open message to other players on a video game platform known as “Steam” on July 13th, shortly before he opened fire, according to Fox News. “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” Crooks allegedly wrote, authorities confirmed.

CAST YOUR VOTE: Should Voter ID Be Mandatory In The 2024 Election?

Since the shooting, the FBI has said it obtained access to Crooks’ phone and laptop where agents may have located the evidence of his online statement. “Steam” is a virtual store where users can communicate with one another. Search history obtained from the laptop shows Crooks was seeking out information about both the Republican and Democratic national conventions before he struck out for Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Senators who were briefed on the investigation said that a political ideology has still not been ascribed to Crooks, an unusual development given the historical precedent of shooters targeting U.S. presidents over political beliefs. Instead, former classmates say, Crooks appeared agnostic to both major parties and critical of the options America faces for leaders today. His household held an array of identities; Crooks was a registered Republican, but his father is a libertarian and his mother is a Democrat. Others have noted that Crooks most recently made a small donation to a progressive advocacy group supporting President Joe Biden.

FBI officials have also disclosed that they located a second cell phone belonging to Crooks which had just 27 listed contacts. Agents are in the process of locating and speaking with the individuals who were called, they told the senators.

Days before the shooting, Crooks’ parents called law enforcement saying they were worried about their son’s well-being and could not find him. Fox News reported on Wednesday that both parents are cooperating with the FBI as they spearhead the search for a motive behind Crooks’ deadly shooting spree, but what they exactly told authorities in advance remains uncertain.

Amy, a local Republican activist, told the outlet about an encounter she had with Crooks earlier in his yard that left her nonplussed. “I think it was about a month and a half ago,” she said. “He was just like this; he was just walking with his head down … and at one point he turned his head, and he just kept his head down.”

Although she and her husband set their alarms to wake up in time for President Trump’s rally in Butler later that day, Amy admitted something “didn’t feel right” and they chose to stay home. “I set my alarm for 5 a.m., and I had my clothes out, ready to go. I was just going to throw them on, not even to do makeup, nothing, put my hat on, and I was going to drive up and meet up with friends,” she said.

White House Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle tried her best not to let a furious crowd of Republican U.S. senators rattle her she appeared on site Wednesday to protect former President Donald Trump in Milwaukee.

The stone-faced security chief was caught on candid camera striding through a hallway at the Republican National Convention as Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) peppered her with a blizzard of questions and concerns about the agency’s failure to stop Saturday’s attempted assassination of Trump. Blackburn posted the video on X, writing, “The American people deserve answers from the Secret Service.”

“Stonewalling!” Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) yells in the clip. “You owe the people answers! You owe President Trump answers!” Blackburn shouts in agreement. Both were blocked off by agents surrounding Cheatle, who quickly pivoted to ascend a nearby staircase as she escaped the fracas.

Cheatle is under tremendous pressure to explain her previous comments defending a decision by agents at Saturday’s rally to not place a member on the roof where 20-year-old Thomas Crooks was able to fire off eight high-caliber rounds toward the stage where President Trump stood. At times she has vacillated between accepting responsibility, blaming local police, or claiming the roof was not an ideal vantage point due to its slope. FBI agents are also investigating why a local police officer backed away from intercepting Crooks just seconds before the shooting, and reports on Monday suggested that authorities were in the same warehouse complex as Crooks where he moseyed aimlessly for up to an hour before the shooting.

Republicans have pounced on the security lapse and promised a fresh round of oversight hearings that will surely lead to Cheatle answers more questions under oath. She has insisted she will not resign.

After being nicked by one of the rounds, President Trump credited his phalanx of burly male agents and several women with saving his life. However, allies of the president have pointed to the failure of the female agents to fully block Trump with their bodies and circulated video of one who appeared unable to holster her weapon in the midst of the crisis; on Wednesday Trump was spotted at the Republican convention touting an all-male Secret Service team.

Motives of Crooks for attempting the assassination remain unclear. Neighbors and former classmates have described him as a loner and upset with politicians in both major parties. Local Republican activists who lived near the Crooks household confirmed that Trump lawn signs and other GOP staples of support were never delivered to them; Pennsylvania voter records list Crooks’ father as a libertarian and his mother as a registered Democrat.

Just one hour before a deadly torrent of rifle rounds was fired at former President Donald Trump on Saturday, the Secret Service engaged with the shooter and even snapped a photo of him scoping out the perimeter of a rally where he ultimately perched and fired from before being shot and killed himself.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old high school graduate who attempted to assassinate President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, was spotted crawling on the ground and looking for a prime vantage point where he could obtain the best view shortly before Trump walked on stage. A final photo of Crooks exclusively obtained by the New York Post shows him wearing glasses and looking to his left, almost behind him toward the photographer, as he is seen with his hands on the ground. The photograph was taken at approximately 5:30 p.m. local time and sent to law enforcement suggesting suspicious activity, the outlet added. An officer attempted to locate Crooks at the spot where the photo was taken but could not find him.

At approximately 6:11 p.m. Crooks fired the first round from his AR-15 assault rifle from a roof approximately 400 feet from the stage, clipping the former president’s left ear before Trump was tackled to the floor by Secret Service agents.

Postmortem photos show Crooks’ lifeless body near a cell phone and remote detonator which authorities suspected was intended to activate explosives in his car, potentially meant to carry out an explosion that might have distracted authorities from his position.

When Crooks was photographed, he was seen using a rangefinder while looking at his phone, raising further questions about why officers did not immediately act on the information. The tool is often used by hunters and target shooters when determining the distance and trajectory for long-range shots.

A working theory put forward by investigators is that Crooks first went to his vehicle to obtain the AR-15 rifle that he had stolen from his father. Just seconds before the first round was fired, a local officer encountered Crooks on the roof, only to retreat back down a ladder after the young man pointed his firearm at them. The FBI is investigating the failed interception which has reportedly left local police furious with their colleague.

In addition to grazing Trump, Crooks shot and killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore who was seated behind the former president as part of a small crowd. He reportedly shouted “Get down!” and used his body to shield his wife and daughter before being killed. Two others on the stage were wounded and remain in critical condition. The wife of Comperatore refused to accept a condolence call from President Joe Biden later that weekend.

A tightening U.S. Senate race in California is putting pressure on Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to break away from the pack after the GOP’s presumptive nominee picked up some serious traction in the past fundraising quarter.

The latest federal financial disclosures show that Republican Steve Garvey out-raised the 11-term congressman in the year’s second quarter, and not just by a narrow margin. Garvey bested Schiff by $1.2 million, bringing his total haul to $5.44 million. Schiff, a longtime ally of Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) whose liberal district borders her San Francisco territory, brought in $4.2 million. Over 67,000 donors contributed to Garvey’s campaign, bringing his average donation down to $81.

BREAKING: STEVE GARVEY OUTRAISES ADAM SCHIFF

U.S. Senate candidate Steve Garvey outraised U.S. Senate candidate Adam Schiff by $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Garvey raised $5.44 million to Schiff’s $4.2 million from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, according to…

— Steve Garvey (@SteveyGarvey6) July 16, 2024

“Californians are tired of the status quo, they are tired of the division, they are tired of Washington D.C. not working together, they (are) tired of Adam Schiff representing his party bosses rather than them, and now they are speaking up with their checkbooks,” Garvey said in a statement to Cal Matters.

Schiff, 64, has been one of the few hardline Israel supporters in the Democratic Party and reported $67,000 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) which recently lined up to defeat “Squad” Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) in his June primary.

The shift is even more remarkable because until now Rep. Schiff had led the fundraising race, Between Feb. 15 and March 31, Schiff shelled out $12.5 million, five times what Garvey — a former L.A. Dodgers first baseman — brought in during the first quarter. Schiff has raised a total of $39 million to Garvey’s $12 million, the outlet added.

While Democrats may take a California Senate seat for granted, Schiff is certainly not. He declined to comment or defend his lackluster fundraising quarter, instead sending out a fundraising email on Tuesday calling on his supporters to open their wallets and make sure Garvey “doesn’t outraise us again” and deemed Garvey’s fundraising edge and GOP’s heavy spending “the outcome we feared.”

Garvey, 75, is walking a fine line in a state that President Joe Biden won by a nearly 30-point margin four years ago. He has called on the embattled incumbent to drop out but declined to attend this week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, eschewing a chance to rub elbows with GOP elites in favor of grinding it out on the summer campaign trail circuit. During an interview earlier this month, he called Biden someone “who is 81 years of age and has difficulty focusing.” He affirmed that he voted for former President Donald Trump in the state’s March presidential Republican primary and said he will vote for him again in November.

(ALERT: Biden’s New Executive Order Will Crush The US Dollar For Good)

Observers at Tuesday’s proceedings of the Republican National Convention were quick to note an overhauled Secret Security detail surrounding former President Donald Trump. What made the phalanx unusual was what it did not include: female agents.

A cacophony of outrage rose up against Trump’s protection detail following his brush with death on Saturday after an assassination attempt. Video of the seconds and few minutes of immediate aftermath showed Secret Service agents bodying up against Trump as they navigated him down a set of stairs and into a black SUV; among the group were at least two female agents who drew criticism for being incapable of physically blocking Trump from a line of sight, or in another case appearing unable to holster her service weapon.

VOTE NOW: Are You In Favor Of Term Limits For All Members Of Congress?

Fist raised, President Trump marched onto the convention floor Tuesday morning with more than half a dozen male Secret Service agents in tow while they scanned the crowd for potential threats. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley has promised a secure convention and said enhanced protections have been added since Saturday’s shooting that nearly claimed the 45th president’s life. Photographs of the entourage by the Daily Mail show Trump making the rounds to meet with well-wishers, though he did not address the hundreds of attendees and delegates.

Security lapses at the president’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania have pushed Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle into the hot seat. On Monday the Biden appointee spoke with ABC News, accepting responsibility for the shooting and declaring “the buck stops with me” while appearing to blame local law enforcement for not securing the rally’s perimeter. Thomas Crooks, a recent high school graduate, was able to take eight shots from a rooftop more than 400 feet away.

“I’m being told that the shooter was actually identified as a potential person of suspicion. Units started responding to seek that individual out,” Cheatle told ABC News, according to Fox News. “Unfortunately, with the rapid succession of how things unfolded, by the time that individual was eventually located, they were on the rooftop and were able to fire off at the former president.”

A stunning report by Politico this week indicates that former House Speaker and California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is fielding an avalanche of calls from colleagues in swing districts fearful that a ticket led by President Joe Biden could doom their prospects for reelection.

According to one lawmaker who remained anonymous to protect the confidentiality of ongoing conversations with fellow members, Pelosi is providing “very receptive” responses to concerns that Biden is unable to win in November. She hasn’t shied away from explaining district-level polling that shows Biden is a drag on the ticket but that many House and Senate Democrats still outpoll him, especially in swing states. The lawmaker said they left the call with a distinct felling that Pelosi is getting more aggressive about trying to push President Biden out of the race. Toward the end of the call, the former House leader encouraged her colleague to have others reach out to share their concerns though she emphasized she would not be initiating those calls.

At 84 years old, Rep. Pelosi is more than two years older than President Biden and last cycle stepped away from the chamber’s top job to make way for a new generation of Democratic leaders. Washington’s liberals often speak about her as a “last hope,” according to Politico — someone who walks the walk, stepping down in the twilight of her career and providing Biden with a personal example he may do well to follow.

“She’s the political voice of the Democratic caucus right now,” said another House Democrat who has spoken with her. “She’s been exclusively focused on winning the House for the last 20 odd years” and is “trying to be respectful” of her successor Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), noting she is no longer officially in the House Democrats’ leadership ranks. Last week Jeffries, who serves as minority leader, met privately with President Biden and later issued a statement that many interpreted as a cryptic approval for House Democrats to begin bailing on Biden if it could save their seats.

Another insider described Pelosi’s approach as akin to playing “3-D chess” and noted that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a top Pelosi ally and U.S. Senate candidate, is spearheading the release of a letter by dozens of lawmakers who are hoping the Democratic Party delay Biden’s nomination. “Nancy Pelosi has one of the strongest cases to make,” said one Democratic aide to a member who has voiced concerns about Biden’s electability. “She stepped down and passed the torch.”

Other leading Democratic figures who may be privately encouraging Biden to step aside include former President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Party insiders have described a come-to-Jesus scenario that could force the 81-year-old president out of the race, saying it would take a combined effort by Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, and several others which may allow for a “blitz primary.” In such a scenario, Vice President Kamala Harris would not automatically be coronated, instead having to duke it out with out contenders as they seek to earn votes from delegates at the Democratic National Convention who would go in completely uncommitted.
